THE WALRUS.

The walrue, or, as it is sometimes called,
bles large seal in external appearance.
1t is distributed in the Arctic regions of
both hemispheres. One of the favorite
resorts of the walrus is the sea about
Kamschatka, and ten to fifteen degrees
on each side on the American and Asiatic
shores; and another one on the south of
Siberia, westward of Baffin's Bay and
Prince Regents Inlet. 1t is also found
on the coasts of Iceland and about Spitz-
bergen and Nova Zembla. 1t is said that
the walrus never comes south of the Alas
kan peninsula on this side. They could
come down through the Ounimak Pass,
but old Arctic whalers say that they have
never been seen in the Pacific Ocean.
Those that go up into the Arctic, it is
said, are mostly COWS and calves, the COWS
keeping near the ice for the protection of
their young and finding plenty of food
up there. The bulls seem to stop down
in the Behring Sea, few going through
the straits into the Arctic. The whale
men say that they have been informed
by the Indians that some of the walruses
stay into the Arctic all winter, having
breathing holes in the ice, as seals do.
The chase of the walrus has been prac-
ticed from time immemorial. Formerly
it was valued only for its tusks and oil,
but of recent years its skin has also come
in use as an article of commerce. The
walruses have two upper canine teeth
prolonged into huge tusks. Some of the
fn1l-grown walruses weigh nearly ton.
They attain length of fifteen to eighteen
feet, and measure half as much around
the fore hippers. These fore flippers are
some two feet long and are capable of
forcing them rapidly through the water
when propelled by the short stout arms.
The inside of the paws is covered with
horny article which subserves the purpose
of protecting their palms in scrambling
over the rough ice. Some writer's claim
that they have the power of suction in
these members, and by this means so
| readily climb on the huge ice cakes, where
they are so often seen during the Arctic
summer. The walrus fiippers when cooked
are considered a great delicacy by the In
dians, and are said to taste not unlike
picked pigs feet. The walruses live
chiefly on CLAIMS, for procuring which
their tusks seem especially designed.
Diving to the bottom they dig into the
sand with their tusks and feed at their
leisure, often coming to their breathing
spot at the surface and splitting the shells
out on the ice The flesh of the walrus
is protected by thick layer of fat or
blubber, which enables it to resist the
cold water of the Arctic seas. This coat
ing will yield on an average about twenty
two gallons of oil, it being calculated
that 100 walruses will yield seventy-five
barrels of oil, each holding thirty seven
and half gallons. The oil can hardly
be distinguished from whale oil, gener-
ally being little lighter in color. When
full grown the tusks of the animal are
from two to three feet long, oneside being
little larger than the other. Each tusk
will generally average about five pounds
in weight.-San Francisco Call

effect a cure. He was once called TO see
a man who had been in bed several days,
and on entering the room he sat down,
stuck his long legs under the bed, moved
his spectacles to the top of his bald head,
and sat and told stories for an hour. He
then sent one of the boys to draw glass of
cider, which he drank, and made his pre-
parations to leave the house. The sick
man asked if he was going to prescribe
for him, or give him something to take.
ooh, yes, yes" replied the doctor, "You
just get up, and stir about little, and
wash up, and put on clean shirt, and
you will be all right, [ guess"
Notwithstanding the doctor peculiar
tiles in such cases, he was one of the most
careful and devoted physicians in cases
of dangerous illness, and would often
appear, unsolicited, unexpected, in the
sick-room after midnight, so great was
his anxiety for the welfare of his patients

WIVES OF THE PRESIDENTS.

The inner circles of what may be call
ed the presidential society, writes Ben.
Perley Poore, has always been the subject
OF much comment and gossip among what
may be termed the outer circles. Thus
Mrs. Abigail Adams, wife of Vice-Preei-
dent, John Adams, wrote as follows of
Mrs. Washington: "She endears herself
to all, not by what she is so much as by
what she is not, and makes up by cordial
ity the shortcomings of an early educa-
tion." In turn, Mrs. Adams, when her
husband became president, was comment
ed upon as follows in one of the private
letters of the day: "She is prim, cold,
and possesses too much mind for the very
little heart that hardly seems to beat I'M
der her taffeta gown" By the aristocra-
cy of Virginia, Mrs. Madison was called
"the Quaker widow" and gentlemen
were too fond of her society,"" in the COM
mon parlance of the day. The manners
of Mrs. Monroe were "too much of the
French school" and it was asserted that
the niece OF Gen. jackson who presided
over his household chad no manners at
ALL" Mrs. Harrison left the White House
before her manners were developed, and
while the first wife of John Ty Ter was "too
old" the second was "too young" Mrs.
Polk wore "shawls and turbans," as well
as paste jewelry. Mrs. Taylor Ibid

THE OTHER SHORE.

In the grand old woods, where the shadows
sleep,
Or in the churchyard on the hill.
Or along by the river calm and deep,
Where Summer hours are sweet and still,
1 love to wander for my dreaming earl
Can hear strange voices evermore-
Voices of dear ones gone before
Yea, and almost see them, as hear,
Waiting on the other shore.
Now the branches stir and the shadows move,
Until my fancy fills the glades
With the faces and forms used to love
See! they come nearer. til the shades
Are Lit with such subtle yet nameless rays,
The rustling leaves make music sweet,
While the broad river at my feet
In accord sings of long forgotten days
In quaint and magical lays.
l enter the world All the worlds severe;
No one believes what I have seen;
The souless and cold holding nothing dear
But fame, and it's glittering sheen.
Yet know what know, and love to think
That those we knew in days of yore
Are waiting, watching, evermore-
Earnestly watching, on the misty brink
OF the dim and wondrous shore.
There may be some hearts that trembleto dream
OF those mute watchers, near, yet far;
pity the hearts, whatever trey seem,
And mourn that many there are.
o surely no sweetness can match with this
To know that when this life is DER
The friends that we lived to adore
VIII be there with welcome aud greeting kiss,
Waiting on the other shore.

There was very costly wreck in 1777.
She was Dutch East indiaman, and
foundered in storm within three leagues
of the Texal, taking down all hands but
six, and 100000. The price OF four such
armadas as that of 1888 went down in the
last century alone in the shape of gold,
silver and plate. She was the annual
register ship, as the term then was, and
had in her 100000 piastres and 10000
ounces Of gold on account OF the king,
and twice that sum on the merchants ac-
count, making her very rich ship. She
foundered, and no man escaped to tell
how or when.
In the same year the Dutch lost the
Antoinette, an Indiaman, who with her
sunk e7OO,0O0 sterling, besides Jewels of
great value. The Royal Charter is the
most notable modern instance of the
wreck of a treasure" ship that can just
now call to mind. She left Australia
with e350,000 in her. OF this sum, says
Charles Dickens in his chapter on this
| dreadful shipwreck in the Uncommer-
cial Traveller" 100000 worth was recov-
cred, at the time of the novelist's visit to
the spot where she had driven ashore.
"The great bulk of the remainder" writes
Dickens, "was surely and steadily COM
ing up. Some loss of sovereigns there
would be, of course; indeed, at first SOW
ereigns had drifted in with the sand, and
been scattered far and wide over the
beach like sea shells, but most other
golden treasure would be found. So
tremendous had the force of the sea been
when it broke the ship that it had beaten
one great ingot of gold deep into strong
and solid piece of her solid iron work, in
which also several loose sovereigns, that
the ingot had swept in before it, had
been found as firmly imbedded as though
the iron had been liquid when they had
been forced there" This is a curiosity
of disaster, but nightly suggestive of
the seas misery trick of concealing its
plumber.

GROWING TOMATO PLANTS.

,.
When the plants are about two inches
high, transplant them into other boxes
or beds, setting them two or three inches
apart. In ten or fifteen days reset them,
giving more space. The favorable result
of such treatment is plant compact and
stocky, with mass of short fibrous roots
that firmly hold stable ball of soil to
each plant. Such plants, if otherwise
properly managed, will be strong and
vigorous, standing up firmly with a we'll
hardened stock, and ON the removal to
the open ground will seldom show signs
OF willing or check in growth. This sys-
tenn of repeated transporting, when in
the bed or boxes, causes the plants to
fruit much earlier. For distant shipment
or planting out on ones own grounds
the last removal is into boxes four inches
deep, where they are allowed to stand q
week or ten days before being offered for
sale or planted in the open ground.
When in the plant bed give good rich
fibrous soil. Air freely at all favorable
conditions of the weather, esp ecially SO in
the later stages of the plants growth; for
this with repeated resetting, hardens and
prepares them for removal to the open
ground. Early forwarded tomato plants
as rule are set out in the open ground
ten days to fortnight earlier than they
should be. The days being quite cold
and the nights even colder, the plants
become injured, and many times seed
llngs that spring up by chance in the
garden give more satisfactory results
than those early-set frost bitten ones
The tomato will flourish on any good
SOIL For an early crop light sandy
soil In some sheltered place. manuring
heavily in the hill and setting three feet
apart, Is most desirable. On heavy soil
set four feet apart, using but little
manure in the. hill. It will be advisable
here to trim back the ends of the vines
quite severely after they have commenced
to bear thus insuring earlier and larger
fruit. There are many ways of train
ing the tomato vine so as to keep the
fruit from the ground. Thus the sun
and air are more freely admitted, and
the fruit is less liable to decay.

And the war.whoop sounds no more
With the blast of bugles, where
Straight into a slaughter pen,
With his doomed three hundred men,
Rode the chief with the yellow hair.

What voice is beseeching thee
For the scholars lowliest place?
Can this be the voice of him
Who fought on the Big Horns rim2
Can this be Rain-in the-face?
The Ratchet lies overgrown
With grass by the Yellowstone,
Wind River and Paw of Bear;
And, in sign that foes are friends,
Each lodge like apeace pipe sends
Its smoke in the quiet air.
The hands that have done the wrong
To right the wronged are strong,
And the voice of a Nation saith:
Enough of the war of words,
Enough of the lying swords
And shame of a broken faith!"
The Ute and the wandering Grow
Shall know as the white men know,
And fare as the white men fare:
The pale and red shall be brothers,
Ones right shall be as another's,
